When her two amazing sons were first born, Chineva Smith received hurtful and damaging comments about being a single parent. Over the years, she has challenged such negative assumptions by raising Juélz and Caden with unwavering wisdom, grit, and compassion. Whether we have experienced life as a single-parent student or not, we all have something to learn and admire from hearing Chineva’s story.
